Zone Cop Academy

Chapter Three: The Starting Line ((part 1))

Zonic was almost clotheslined by a zone cop guard standing by the entrance.

"Halt! I need to see Identification and your Admission Ticket," he said sternly. Zonic got a little red and felt very awkward. He fumbled through his pockets. Then he haphazardly hands over his student ID and ticket to the officer. The officer revises it. Zonic stood there sheepishly. He still couldn't help but stare at the officer. It was the first time he saw one so close. He was in awe at his uniform and his equipment. The officer signs off on the ticket. Zonic quickly moved his gaze onto something else. Then the officer hands over his things.

"Alright proceed. Without running this time Zonic." He warned him. Zonic got a chill when he heard his name in such a tone. He was no stranger to getting in trouble.

"Y-Yes Sir," he mumbled. Then proceed down the hall still glancing back at the officer. Until he reaches the end of a long line. There the girl from before was at the end. Of course, he was still peeved from her name-calling. Zonic glared at her and then marched over. Then tapped her shoulder aggressively.

"Hey!" He growled. There were many words he'd wish to blurt out. The girl rolled her eyes and then gradually turned to face him.

She deeply sighed "look who caught up. How's it hanging Slowpoke?" She pokes him back.

Zonic rubbed his chest where she poked, "actually I'm the fastest thing alive." He rebutted. She burst out laughing. She holds her stomach as she laughed.

"Yeah? And I'm from a different planet walking among you." she snickered. He got a bit red still ticked.

" I am!" he stamps his foot down. Everyone around them looked at him and muttered to themselves. He got a hot red feeling with everyone's eyes on him. The girl calms down, satisfied with her laugh.

"If we're done here I want to review my flashcards while I wait." She pulls out notecards from her pocket. While dropping her ID and School information. Zonic noticed instinctively picked it up for her. She was annoying but he had manners.

"Here you drop this. Honestly, you shouldn't be careless with your things," he said holding out the documents.

She was a bit annoyed and snatched it," I was going to pick it up! You just got to it first!"

Zonic jerked. He didn't understand why she was being so offensive. Maybe it was a girl thing. He never really met a girl around his age.

"A thank you would have been nice," he muttered. He paused for a moment.

"Why do you hide your face? Do girls like to hide their faces?" being naively blunt as possible. She turned around in the notion of something else.

"H-how did you know I was a girl?!" She blushes a bit. "Tch, you saw didn't you?!" She was getting more ruffled.

He shook his head "I knew from the very beginning. It's pretty obvious." She got more red. She couldn't believe her ears. She pulled down her hood in defeat.

"If it's so obvious then there's no point in trying to hide my face..." she sighed. "I was trying to keep it a secret from the competition." As she pulled down her hoodie, her crimson side-swept bangs poofed up. She had a lovely, short, fluffy flipped hairstyle. Her blue lagoon eyes stimulated the sounds of waves. She easily was distinguishable as a möbian chipmunk. She sighed then blew on her bangs bothered that her plans failed. Then promptly extends her hand "I'm Zally... and you are?"

He gently shook her hand, "Zonic. I feel like I've heard your name before..." he tried to remember.

She lightly blushed then covered the side of her face looking away. She huffed saying, "does Princess Zally Zcorn ring a bell?"
